Shift Cable: Service and Repair

WARNING:
- MAKE SURE LIFTS, JACKS AND SAFETY STANDS ARE PLACED PROPERLY, AND HOIST BRACKETS ARE ATTACHED TO THE CORRECT POSITION ON THE ENGINE.
- APPLY PARKING BRAKE AND BLOCK REAR WHEELS SO VEHICLE WILL NOT ROLL OFF STANDS AND FALL ON YOU WHILE WORKING UNDER IT.





CAUTION:
- All SRS wire harnesses are covered with yellow insulation. Before you disconnect any part of an SRS wire harness, disconnect the airbag connectors.
- Whenever the ignition switch ON (II), or has been turned OFF for less than three minutes, be careful not to bump the SRS unit; the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries.
